Google is deprecating older Drive APIs. See the announcement from Google. (https://9to5google.com/2020/06/29/old-g-suite-apps/) Is the Online Accounts function going to be affected?
My SO has to produce reports in the same format every week, but getting her to use styles in a word processor with a custom template hasn't worked out, so I'm going anther way.
I'd like to use Markdown with her that converts to LaTeX with custom functions and produces a PDF for printing, all with as little work from her as possible outside of saving the file.
Niceties:
- Immediate preview of Markdown in a side pane
- Formatting buttons
- Online / GDrive / Dropbox integration for the editor
- Sync of printed output to her Dropbox
Suggested method to piece this together?
In January 2016, builds were suspended, but were suggested to come back during the 16.10 development cycle. I can't find anything, even though 16.10 has been released.
Is there a private repository to test?
All Linux household with a nice-ish GDI laser printer (FujiXerox Docuprint p115w wifi) gifted to me. No Linux drivers are available.
How could I install a Windows VM and expose that to the network as a print server that works with Linux clients?
The superbook is a laptop shell fit Android phones that uses DisplayLink over the phone's USB port. The owners say that the DL video also works with Windows Phones because they support DL.
Does Ubuntu Touch support DL or will it on future releases?
I have an Android phone running 5.0 (CM12) that has "cast screen" on the quick settings page, but no devices are listed. I don't own a Chromecast, but I have an Ubuntu HTPC running 14.04 and Kodi.
What can I do to make the HTPC a receiver and show up on the network?
I have searched, and there appear to be several questions from before ibus became the default input method, but they are no longer applicable.
I want to set up the guest session to use zhuyin and pinyin input in traditional characters. This is set up in the main user account, so I copied over the ~/.config/ibus and ~/.xinput* folders to /etc/guest-session/skel, but this doesn't have any effect.
- Are these the right files to copy?
- Is this the right place to copy them in 14.04 (with Unity)?
I am trying to use a "boot from iso" method on a Windows computer. The iso file is on a small ext4 partition on /dev/sda3. /dev/sda[12] are NTFS.
The normal iso-scan/filename fails (/dev/sda1 can't be mounted because of hibernation issues due to the freeze software we are using).
I suspect that iso-scan has other parameters than /filename (maybe /device or /path) with which I can direct the scan.
Does anyone know these extra parameters? They don't seem to be documented in any place that I can find.
I have updated my 12.04 HTPC to 14.04 (new install; same hardware), and have started getting awful screen tearing where I had none before.

Lab computers need to be "frozen." We'll be switching our XP lab of about 30 computers over to something else this winter, and I'm making a couple of proposals, one of which is LTSP, and another is an immutable live-like system, updated monthly.
My third proposal for them is a more traditionally installed system, but with tmpfs laid over /home using unionfs. RAM for some of these older machines is 1GB, so it occurs to me that I might be able to force a swap or other disposable, on-disk partition over /home instead of RAM, but I'm unsure how to proceed with this and my Google-fu is failing me. There's a lot of information out there, and tmpfs will use swap when it runs out of RAM, but I don't want the machine to die of swap death. Instead, I'd rather have the changes to the user's $HOME be written to swap directly instead of stored in RAM and swapped out. The partition would, of course, need to be reset between reboots.
How is this kind of setup possible? TIA.
It appears that Unity on Raring only comes with a single virtual desktop (aka workspaces) by default, and CCSM's Wall plugin has no way to add more. Is this configurable at all?
I teach computer skills in a computer lab which uses a disk management system on to keep WinXP in a know state between reboots. I'd like to add a Wubi installation, but I keep getting the same error the there's no hibernation file.
Steps:
- Unlock the drive
- Install Wubi and customize
- Relock the drive
- Choose to boot Ubuntu
- Receive error about NTFS partition not having a hibernation file.
The management system is Saming, which is on network card firmware and is Chinese, so I don't have details about how it works, but I assume that it sets the XP partition to look as if it is hibernated and then loads the hibernation file from memory or something similar.
Has anyone had experience with these types of systems and Wubi? Are there any workarounds?
